Galatoire's will stay open on Monday, traditionally its day off, to host a benefit for the Drew Brees Foundation's Edible Schoolyard Project.

The dinner is a collaboration between Galatoire's chef Brian Landry and Joe Bastianich, a noted authority on Italian wine and partner of the famous chef-restaurateur Mario Batali.

The menu, which includes roasted mushroom salad with duck liver pate en croute and sauteed pompano over shrimp brandade galette, veers from traditional Galatoire's fare. Bastianich will attend, and each course will be paired with an Italian wine from his portfolio.

Tickets are $200. Call 504.525.2021 for tickets. Galatoire's is at 209 Bourbon St.
